Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Wednesday that he had never seen U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts admonish litigators the way had admonished House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. and members of President Trump's legal team near the end of the first day of the Senate impeachment trial.
"It's really extraordinary. I can say as somebody who has actually worked for John Roberts," said Hawley, who used to clerk for the Chief Justice. "I have never seen him do that before from any bench that I have ever seen him sit on."
Roberts pounded the gavel as Trump attorneys pointedly responded to Nadler's accusations before telling those assembled it was "appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the House managers and the president's counsel in equal terms."

“Basically” is a word that shouldn’t appear in the headline of a national news agency. Either he did or he didn’t. This isn’t middle school.
Uh? Robert’s a coward and let it go out of control at the outset with Nadler bullying it.
Nasty things can happen when you dump trash in the Senate.
He’s going to have his hands full when the defense gets its three day rebuttal and the Rats start acting out.
If they want to see treason, they should look in the mirror.
Just the first few seconds of that video turned my stomach. Nadler is such a greasy toadstool.
These Jacobins consider treason a goal, not a condemnation.
When Nadler the Hutt croaks, and they plant him - we'll be able to Mitt on his greasy grave.

The GOP should have told Roberts to sod off and reminded him of his role in the FISA fiasco.
“It’s really extraordinary to basically accuse senators of treason,” he told host Tucker Carlson.
it should be in quotes
Roberts is a weak sister and not to be trusted. There is a pattern to his cowardice and uneven-handiness over the years. Someone dropped the ball on him for any high position.
My thoughts exactly! Cipollone embarrassed Roberts by pointing this out. Thus the admonishment by Roberts for "both sides."
Donald Trump surely used his resources well when he campaigned in Missouri for Josh Hawley!
Roberts is a FRAUD!! He had that PETTIFOGGERY thing written out in front of him....he had to blame BOTH sides....FRAUD!
As the head of the court, who illegally authorized spying on the defendant in this case, Roberts should be no where near this room, or trial.
If you think Schiff and Nadler are lying, murdering traitors, think about Demonicrats who keep electing them.
